With just a few weeks left, we've put together a list of essential steps to take before the event to ensure you make the most out of the show.
- Do your customers know you’re going to be there?
Are you leveraging every possible marketing opportunity to promote your presence at the show? It's crucial to inform your customers about your participation, and what better way to do so than via social media? Make a statement on social media by downloading your personalised web banners and logos from the exhibitor hub, as well as your own personalised Gleanin banners via the link you have been sent. These graphics allow you to showcase your stand number and generate hype for your followers to visit your stand at the show. Make sure to tag us so we can like and reshare your content!
Don't forget to also update your exhibitor hub with your latest products and press releases to keep your audience engaged and get maximum exposure on our website, as traffic is due to increase further over the next couple of weeks.
